Abstract: The article on the materials of the Tver region shows the actual situation with the use of arable land, which is typical for most non-chernozem regions of Russia. The purpose of the study is to show the actual disposal of high-value agricultural land from circulation, which is not clearly seen in the Rosstat data, and to suggest a number of urgent measures to resolve the current situation. We believe that the problem of involving unused arable land in non-chernozem regions into circulation is not yet relevant. Resources must be directed to stopping its further degradation, otherwise in 5–7 years arable land, where at present there is no cultivation and harvesting of any agricultural crop, can no longer be considered as a reserve for increasing production of agricultural products. The introduction of these lands into circulation will not be possible without significant costs for recultivation. Due to the lack of investment resources required for a more complete and intensive use of farmland, it is extremely difficult to resolve the issue of the structure of crop production in arable land still usable. The scale of fodder production is limited by the low number of cattle, which, compared with 1992, has decreased by 6 times. Production of marketable grain, without restoring the fertilizer system based on the development of cattle breeding, is unprofitable. Economically justified is the production of spinning flax by intensive technologies. To do this, it is necessary to provide economic support to the enterprises of the flax subcomplex and to ensure the possibility of profitable lease of plots of arable land with highly fertile soils.
